Still Waiting...Sound Familiar??

It has been exactly six weeks today since we applied for immigration. They said to expect the process to take about five weeks. Yes, I'm starting to get that uh-oh feeling. There are a thousand different scenarios, but here are two extremes: our approval will be here tomorrow; or, there was a glitch with our home study and they'll get around to telling us sometime in the next six months.

It's impossible to contact the immigration office, so we'll wait it out a little longer, but if we get no news soon we'll get a congressman involved.

Our First Baby Gift

We received our first baby gift this Sunday!!

It is a snuggly blue-jean quilt. A sweet friend of ours, Karen Durden, made it. She was feeling inspired during the ice storm back in January...or, maybe bored.

Mayah will love it!!
